当前中美关系遭遇严重困难，原因在于一段时间来，美国政府单方面挑起事端，肆意采取一系列干涉中国内政、损害中方利益、严重破坏中美关系的言行。美国一小撮政客出于一己之私利，蓄意煽动反华情绪，挑动对立对抗。美方上述倒行逆施不得人心，已经并将继续遭到中美两国各界有识之士和世界上爱好和平人民的强烈批判和抵制。

The reason why China-US relations have encountered serious difficulties is that the US government unilaterally stirred up troubles and through its words and deeds interfered in China's internal affairs, undermined China's interests and damaged China-US bilateral ties. Driven by selfish motives, a small number of US politicians have been instigating anti-China sentiments, antagonism and confrontation. Such retrogressive moves, unpopular as they are, have been and will continue to be strongly criticized and rejected by visionary people in China and the US, as well as peace-loving people all over the world.

法新社记者厄瓜多尔防长昨天称，厄海军发现149艘在加拉帕戈斯群岛附近的中国渔船关闭了卫星定位系统，这违反有关规定。请问你有何评论？

AFP Ecuador's Defense Minister said yesterday that the Ecuadorian Navy had detected 149 Chinese fishing boats near the Galapagos Islands that have turned off their satellite identification devices. This is a violation of the rules. Do you have a comment on this?

近期，中厄双方正在通过双边渠道保持友好沟通。今年8月6日，两国渔业主管部门专门召开了视频电话会议，达成积极共识，取得良好成效。中国渔业主管部门已经决定自今年9月至11月对加拉帕戈斯群岛保护区以西公海海域实施禁渔，为该区域渔业资源保护作出贡献，受到厄方等有关国家的赞赏。我愿重申，中国作为负责任的渔业大国，高度重视海洋环境和海洋资源保护，对海外作业渔船实施最严格的监测管控措施，将继续要求从事远洋捕捞的企业严格遵守有关法律法规。

China and Ecuador have been in friendly communication recently through bilateral channels. On August 6, the fishery authorities of the two countries held a special video teleconference, which led to positive consensus and good results. Meanwhile, to contribute our efforts in the protection of fishery resources in the region, China's fishery authority has decided to exercise a fishing moratorium in the high seas west of the Galapagos Islands Marine Reserve from September to November this year, which has been appreciated by Ecuador and other relevant countries. I would like to reiterate that China, as a responsible major country in fishing, attaches great importance to the protection of the marine environment and resources and implements the strictest monitoring and control measures on overseas fishing vessels. We will continue requiring enterprises engaged in offshore fishing to strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations.
